Your government's covert and not so covert operations are not succeeding so well just messing up things.. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I could swear that I recall you're an American Ex-Pat living in Mexico... If so, have you renounced your citizenship?? US and the Brits had Husein cornered for good; he had nothing in the way of weapons to be scared of and even if he had he could have been blown "out of the water" by your client state at the flick of a switch: I thought the whole point was to avoid the situation coming to a point where we have to "blow them out of the water", presumably with massive military force. I also seem to recall that the US and Britain were the only two primary powers on this planet who were attempting to enforce binding UNSC resolutions that required Iraq to fully comply with cease-fire, disarmament, and terminating all ties with terrorist groups. I am a practicing architect at almost 70 years of age and I get my sustenance from the creation of beautiful places. And I applaud you for this... But how would feel about your works of structural art being destroyed in a terrorist suicide bombing? Actually a big part of it (the SW US) was taken away from them in a phoney war about 150 years ago... And, Arnold, from WHOM did THEY originally take it from?? The Yaquis, Aztecs, Incas, Apache, and the Navajo??... accessgenealogy.com By your logic, the Mexicans are no more "entitled" to that land than were the various Indian tribes who fought each other for territorial rights. So maybe the US defeat of Mexico was their "blowback" for taking it from the Indians hundreds of years before?? And btw, we paid Mexico for the territory that we obtained from them.. And I believe it was the same amount we paid to Napoleon for the Louisiana Territory: en.wikipedia.org Hawk
